Death... and me

Chapter 569 - Kastran



Kastran City was slightly larger than Lumeria, so it had more Zasfins and a few higher-level cultivators. Of course, Rean still wasn't afraid since the chances of meeting someone who can pass through his Spiritual Sense bending skill would be too low. Naturally, if a Nascent Soul Realm Zasfin appeared close enough to him, he would be able to pass through the skill. Rean didn't think much about it, though.

This time around, Roan came together with Rean into the city while Frandin pretended to be their owner once more. As for Agis and the rest, they were sent into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm without Frandin being able to see.

​​

Rean then looked at Frandin and asked.

"So, have you learned enough to at least pass the Formations Master Guild test?"

Frandin bitterly smiled as he remembered Qia's teachings. Rean also helped him a little in the last few days they had been together. Still, he had no confidence whatsoever.

"I don't know. I've never participated in any of the side occupation tests. I've focused completely on cultivation until now."

Rean laughed as he patted Frandin's shoulders.

"It's fine, it's fine. I'm not in a hurry since I've brought most of the materials I needed for studying from my world. You can take your time to learn a little more in case you fail. I just want you to obtain access to the study materials from this world's Formation Master Guild to compare with my own information. Of course, I also want to check the methods used to make that Yin Gathering Energy Robe."

Roan, however, wasn't in the mood to wait.

"You better succeed in the Alchemist Test. I want to check the Elemental Affinity Pill formulas of this world as soon as possible. That's why most of your free time was used in alchemy. If the parameters of this world are the same as mine, you should be able to become an Earth Low-Level Alchemist. That's all you need to do."

Roan had specially revised the teaching methods while he helped Frandin. Of course, it was all for his own sake, not Frandin's.

Frandin couldn't help but sweat a little, thinking about how Roan might treat him if he failed.

"I'll try my best."

Sometime later, Rean and Roan used Frandin to rent another workshop. There, Rean set up an Anti-Spiritual Sense formation before leaving Frandin and Roan on their own.

"Alright. This city has an auction house as well. It's time for me to make some real money, so you two can leave now."

Roan narrowed his eyes.

"Are you going to try and break through to the Earth Peak-Level Blacksmith rank?"

Rean nodded as he replied.

"Exactly. If I put this level of equipment for auction, it should give us much more Spirit Stones than those Middle-Level ones I made in the past."

Roan pondered for a bit before saying.

"It might not be a good idea to bring out such equipment. There's a good chance that you and Frandin would be forced to explain where you found it."

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"I think it's still worth a try. If things really get complicated, you know we can run away at any time. But if we get paid, we probably won't need to worry about Spirit Stones for a good while."

"Fine. However, wait for me to leave the city before you go auction the weapons."

Rean understood why he asked that. The Soul Gem System was frozen at the moment. Because of that, they can't leave behind save points. Rean can go into the Dimensional Realm, but he can't teleport away from the position he entered. That being said, he only had one choice: to leave the Dimensional Realm at the point where Roan was located. That's why it would be better if Roan wasn't in the city at that time.

Frandin found it strange that Rean had to wait for Roan to leave. He thought that Roan was trying to run away from the problems and leave Rean behind to deal with the issues on his own if things go south.

'Humans really only know how to think about themselves.'

He couldn't be blamed for thinking like that since he didn't know about the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Roan then looked at Frandin before asking.

"Are you sure that no one will try to come into this workshop while Rean is working?"

Frandin shook his head as he said.

"There shouldn't be anyone doing that. However, I can't guarantee it either. It's just that the chances are quite low. Why would someone try to find problems with someone else for no reason?"

Rean nodded as he responded.

"That's good enough. Now, you two go away. It'll take me some time to grasp how to forge Earth Peak-Level Equipment."

The two nodded and left straight away. As for Rean, he activated the Anti-Spiritual Sense Formation and a small detection formation. If someone entered the workshop, he would feel it straight away. Following that, he brought Calina, Malaka, Qia, and Agis out.

"Are we in Kastran City now?"

"Yes. Now, I need your help during the forging process."

Agis and the others nodded. Rean already talked to them about what he was trying to do. For Calina and Qia, it didn't matter much since both of them didn't use weapons. However, it was very important for Malaka and Agis since they would love to obtain a stronger one. Especially Agis, who came to know about the special ability of Rean's weapons to draw in the power of elements.

Rean then brought out the tool he got from the Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop and immediately began his work. Peak-Level Materials fell everywhere around the place. The forger was turned on, and the practice started.

Outside, Roan and Frandin headed straight to the Alchemist Guild. Sure enough, there were almost no humans in the place, only Zasfins. The only humans were the ones doing the chores of the guilds. Following that, Frandin and Roan went to the counter.

"How can I help you?"

"I would like to take the alchemist test."
